2 Peter 1:2-7

2May good will  and peace fill your lives through your knowledge about Jesus, our God and Lord!

3God’s divine power has given us everything we need for life and for godliness. This power was given to us through knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and integrity.

4Through his glory and integrity he has given us his promises that are of the highest value. Through these promises you will share in the divine nature because you have escaped the corruption that sinful desires cause in the world.

5Because of this, make every effort to add integrity to your faith; and to integrity add knowledge;

6to knowledge add self-control; to self-control add endurance; to endurance add godliness;

7to godliness add Christian affection; and to Christian affection add love.
